Chapter 18 Beast Heart Fruit, Heading to Cai Family Village
Li Qingchen examined the hideous fruit in his hand through the panel.
The fruit is carved with lifelike snake heads and scorpion tails, wolf hearts and dog lungs, bear hearts and leopard gall.
It is indeed the Beast Heart Fruit.
If you replace human nature with this fruit, even if you wear human skin, your behavior will be no different from that of an animal.
Consuming this fruit can stimulate the most primal animalistic instincts within the body, reducing pain, increasing bloodlust, and making one more courageous in battle.
The cost is that after the effects wear off, there is a depletion of qi and blood, and a severe damage to kidney qi.
If taken repeatedly, there is a high probability of going berserk and turning into a bloodthirsty beast.
"Tsk, what berserker material? Let it gather dust."
Li Qingchen acquired it.
Continue digging graves.
While the revolving lantern can yield huge rewards, it ultimately requires witnessing the entire life of the character.
Even with the speed adjustment, time was still too tight for Li Qingchen, whose fox fur had faded.
The rewards that were revealed later were also not Chen Keshan.
It's nothing more than some kind of miracle cure or plaster.
Li Qingchen wasn't being picky; it was just that he was running out of extra space, so he had to throw away anything he didn't need.
Li Qingchen immediately swallowed the Power Pill, which boosted his strength and saved space.
at the same time.
The scent of life emanating from him grew stronger, and the undead began to approach him, forming an encirclement around him.
Li Qingchen simply stopped pretending.
After receiving the fox pelts, they laid their cards on the table.
The army of the undead surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.
Li Qingchen used his lightness skill to rush towards the place where he had buried the sword.
The undead swarmed from both sides of the road. Li Qingchen moved lightly, wielding his shovel, each shovel slicing off a fine head.
The shovel was still just an ordinary tool; after dozens of undead were thrown in, a gap immediately appeared.
Fortunately, Li Qingchen had already unearthed the treasure sword "Frost Silver". He unleashed a series of Lingxu sword techniques while simultaneously multitasking, silently reciting the "Hun Yuan Tian Ji Jue" and the "Tian Wai Xiao Yao Jue".
As the fighting spirit grew ever stronger—
[Hint: The "Sword Master" talent has been triggered!]
[Your cultivation level has been temporarily increased!]
With the blessing of the 'Sword Master' talent, Li Qingchen, alone with his sword, moved like a butterfly through the army of the undead, graceful as a startled swan and as swift as a swimming dragon.
With each swing of the sword, a head was taken from the tent.
Li Qingchen slashed nearly four hundred undead in one go, his swordsmanship experience points skyrocketed, and his lightness skill became more and more proficient.
Finally, his vital energy was exhausted, he was completely worn out, and he died a glorious death.
However, he finally reached the pinnacle of the Nine Swords of Soaring Void and the Free and Unfettered Technique of the Outer Heavens.
"This life was worth it."
Li Qingchen sighed.
Aside from not finding a "master craftsman" to repair the wine pot, there's basically nothing to regret.
Finally, there's a summary of this life.
Because of his good performance and escaping death several times, the system rewarded him by upgrading his "Demon Aura Observation Technique" to the highest level.
In this way...
Except for the slow progress of the "Hun Yuan Tian Ji Jue", the other three techniques have all been mastered.
The moon is bright and the wind is clear.
Li Qingchen closed his eyes and fell asleep contentedly on the bed.
We await the day to slay the demon.
…………
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
In a pitch-black room, Lin Bufan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"That idiot... how dare he try to cause trouble for those fox demons all by himself?"
"If what he said is true, and today's discovery of the fox demon's true form was just a coincidence."
"Then how can we guard against a fox demon's sneak attack tomorrow?"
"Moreover, with so many fox demons, even without resorting to sneak attacks, their demonic magic alone is not something ordinary martial artists can handle."
Since he diligently practiced the martial arts bestowed upon him by the Demon Slayer Bureau, his skill level has undergone a qualitative improvement.
He was confident that he could handle three fox demons by himself, but once the number exceeded that, he would have to fight and retreat.
Lin Bufan couldn't help but hug the long sword in his arms.
It seems that only in this way can one feel a little at ease.
"Fox demons are extremely vengeful, and because their numbers are few, they are as close as brothers to one another."
"I'm afraid there will be at least five of them in tomorrow's battle."
Lin Bufan took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"I cannot back down. I have finally met a chivalrous person who is willing to stand up for the people. I cannot let him die like this."
"Tomorrow, let's go together!"
……
The next day is dawn.
Liu Family Village.
Watched by the villagers, two fine horses, one white and one black, galloped off towards Caijia Village.
Li Qingchen glanced at the demon-slaying constable beside him and asked in confusion:
Did you have a nightmare?
Lin Bufan, sporting two black eyes, looked at him with a hint of resentment.
Li Qingchen, puzzled, slowly said:
"I don't recall inviting you to Caijia Village last night. If you want to come, that's none of my business. But if we encounter a fox demon, let me make it clear beforehand: don't make a move."
My goodness, they're all mine, no one can steal my kill!
Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan immediately became furious:
"You really intend to take on this group of fox demons alone? Do you consider yourself a beginner-level martial artist?"
"A beginner-level martial artist?"
Li Qingchen became interested. "Could you tell me how martial arts realms are divided?"
Lin Bufan said somewhat impatiently, "If you can get back alive, I'll tell you."
"Then it's settled."
Lin Bufan turned his head to look at him. He really wanted to ask this person, "Why do you think you will definitely be safe and sound?"
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from in front of Caijia Village.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a disheveled girl running desperately toward the two of them.
Her face was streaked with tears, large patches of her fair skin exposed to the air.
Behind her were two bandits.
One of them was holding a large knife, the blood on which was still wet, and it seemed to be stained with the blood of many people.
Upon seeing the man on horseback, dressed in official robes, the young girl cried out:
"My lord, please, please save me! This villain killed an entire family and now he wants to kidnap me to be his wife."
Barefoot, she ran towards Lin Bufan at the fastest speed she had ever run.
There were many loose stones on the road, and the girl's feet were already bleeding from the cuts.
Lin Bufan's face was extremely gloomy.
In broad daylight, these two bandits were so audacious that they didn't retreat when they saw the constables, but instead dared to advance. They were truly utterly daring!
Even if the girl's identity is unknown, she could be a fox spirit in disguise.
But these two bandits undoubtedly deserve to die.
Lin Bufan drew his longsword, its cold light gleaming.
But even faster than him was a streak of silver light!
A sword strike that was incredibly fast!
Lin Bufan's eyes widened, and the next second he saw that the girl's head had been cut in half horizontally.
Brains flying everywhere!
The upper half of the girl's head lay on the dirty soil, her eyes wide open, clearly dying with her eyes wide open.
The two bandits behind suddenly stopped in their tracks, paused for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise, "What... what the hell is that?!"
Lin Bufan looked at the girl's corpse.
All that could be seen was that shiny hair was constantly growing on the girl's fair skin.
Its delicate body continued to swell, and its slender fingers and toes all turned into sharp claws.
The girl's remaining half of her head transformed into a fox's head!
"It really is a fox demon!"
Lin Bufan had his doubts about the girl's identity, but doubts were just doubts. His conscience wouldn't allow him to kill an innocent person, even if it would put him in danger.
however--
Lin Bufan looked at the young man beside him who had a calm and composed expression.
Such a confident sword strike could only have been made with the mindset of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
That is……
He can see through the fox demon's disguise!
On the rubble-strewn ground, the fox demon, now only half a head remaining, cried out in despair, "Why... why did you see through my true form?"
"I was so close, I could have been right there to kill you..."
Li Qingchen dismounted and plunged his sword into the fox demon's mouth.
With a slight twist of his wrist, half of the fox demon's head was instantly smashed to pieces.
"That's good, you don't understand. If I let you die knowing exactly what happened, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"
